Pictures of God: A Child's Guide to Understanding Icons by John Skinas

informative fast-paced

4.0

I received this book in the mail today.  I want my son's heroes to be the saints. And I want him to live in a world surrounded by signs and symbols of the God who made him. So what better book than a book of signs, a book of icons? The art in this book is beautiful and each icon has a brief description which points out details of the picture. It also urges the reader to holiness in imitation of God and his saints. Sometimes it asks questions to prompt discussion. I'm eager to be able to share these with my Little Man.
